In Love He Came

[intro]
In love He came, sent by the Father
To pierce the darkness with His light
In Him was life, and the life was the light
To all who would receive Him.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together,
If the Lord al-lows
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now

In love He came, sent by the Father,
To become flesh and dwell with us;
And we beheld the glory of the Son,
Full of grace, full of grace, and truth
